The Yamaha RX-V663 is standing out in my mind after reading about all the receivers in this range. I think that is going to be my pick.

It was the Pioneer VSX 917 KS pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/HomeEntertainment/AV-Receivers/PioneerReceivers/ci.VSX-917-K%7CS.Kuro Said in the manual that if you use the HDMI for video you need to "run a seperate cable (optical or coax) for audio", and it was a real let down because he...

Here's my situation: I am setting up a new entertainment center. Here's my devices: Satellite TV Box with HDMI out, component and toslink AppleTV with HDMI out, component and toslink Playstation 3 with HDMI out, component and toslink Xbox 360 with component and toslink My brother...

I just bought the XBR4 52" and I got the OmniMount UCL-XP Dual Arm Cantilever Mount. I haven't received it yet, but it sounds amazing. Can hold the TV easily, and lets it extend from 6" to 28" from the wall, and can turn side to side and tilt forward and back. Of course, I am building it...

I've been looking through Parts Express for plates that are F -> RCA or for just keystone inserts that are F -< RCA, but I can't seen to find any. At the home end, I'll be plugging the RG6 into one of those 5.2 two gang wall plates, so I believe the sub connections on that are 2 ended...

One thing you guys might be able to comment on is the bottom-center area. Thats supposed to be my device area, receiver, sattelite, xbox, appletv, yadda yadda. Problem is now in real life, instead of just my drawing, I see just how HUGE a 5'6" by 3' hole is! Originally I wanted to do...

Hello, I am Erik. I am currently building my first house, and have constructed a built in entertainment center, which is already framed up. Seeing it now in person, it looked smaller on paper. But at any rate, I now need to figure out how to pre-wire this before the drywallers come in...
